Papertalker: organic communication and language combining the use of play & a hinge made from folded paper—the origins of the latter element are derived from the tree and the earthly nutrients from sun, air, and soil.

Whereas modern communication derives from fossil fuels and circuitry, the communication conveyed via a papertalker derives power from the Sun & Soil. In a time when technological gadgetry has the world hyperventilating as we indulge and amuse ourselves, we do have a choice: Make a conscious effort to employ language and create experience that stay true to the Earth, and foster harmony and integrity in our relationship with the young. In so doing, we, as adults, can do a better job of pointing young people of all ages in a more productive, creative, and purposeful relationship with the world they will one day call their own.
